WTB: 85.5-88 Engine block
Looking to buy a good used 2.5 block with clean un-scored bores, for a rebuild on my '88 N/A car, will drive and pick up if it within a few hundred mile radius. Or will pay to ship via truck or greyhound freight. Thanks

I have 4 late blocks with matchng girdles, balance shafts, and housings. All are going to need machine work in my honest opinion to be sure of a good cylinder seal. Trust me, you are extremely unlikely to find a block thats actually in good enough shape to rebuild without honing....I know this because i have 4 blocks that need machining that the sellers said were good, but had cylinder taper or out of round issues upon precision inspection! Just because a seller said its good and the bores look Ok visually doesnt mean its actually OK. 125 + shipping for anyone you like. PM me for details.
